I have had similar experiences with random reg production cigars. I have smoke from probably 30 boxes of 02 Punch black princes and most of that is due one box we had on the shelf a couple of years ago. It was top 25 cigar worthy but the rest have just been mediocre. I will smoke from another 30...

Top Quality Cigars is the web front end for Casa De Montecristo and 8-to-8 Cigars in the Chicago area. They are coordinating this website sales with their Christmas sale/event at 8-to-8. I talked to the gentlemen that runs their website and they agreed to give out the following promo code...

N Nice to see another FChatter here on BOTL. I just caught a three-day ban from Yin for shutting down Dr. Tommy Cosgrove. I am pretty much done with FChat at this time. CA is mostly useless when it comes to reviews IMHO. My cigar brother down in South Florida gets me his two for one free...

Funny that you say that the Diamond Crown are easily forgotten - I have been meaning to buy some of those for years and keep forgetting lol. One day I'll have one :). CAO's - great call. For me it's the CAO Criollo! Tastes like nothing else I smoke, smoke em every now and again. Never...

I think I have the most amazing wife in the world. I've been talking a lot about cigars lately, reading CA in bed, checking out BOTL, things like that. I briefly mentioned something to her the other day about how the #1 smoke in CA's top 25 wasn't a CC. I find out last night that she bought...

2004 Forbidden X Opus X Toro Start time: 10:55 PM Drink: Russell's reserve ten years bourbon and water in between to clean up the pallet. Pre-light: Soft wrapper almost dry to the touch but humidified. Wrapper to the nose smells of Cedar. Smelling the foot produces very very faint plum and...

It is the end of our last night in Esteli and all are off to bed except me. I am sitting here at the source with a Dirty Rat looking back at what was an over the top experience. Many, many thanks goes to above all JD and his crew also Jorge Padron, Pete Johnson, Jose "Don Pepin" Garcia, and the...

I agree with both Jayro and Aaron.

I am really excited to have Jonathan Drew at my store Burning Leaf Cigars. This Thursday July 1st we are having specials on all Liga Privada, Joya De Nicaragua cigars. I think it's going to be a fun event. I am extending the event deal to BOTL members. Buy any box Liga Privada cigars and get 6...

Hi all. I am a seasoned smoker, i guess I can call myself that. Started smoking 2003 or so, started with what at the time I thought would be the best choice from NCs: Monte, RyJs and Macanudos, and JR Alternatives. Soon after, gave up for a few years, as the cigars were bad and harsh to me...

I have to agree here. While it could have been done many different ways better most of what jayro has said has been right. We are heavily biased here as to what we like and as such think that others should agree with our choices. I have long ago accepted that I am rarely right on these things as...

hello BOTL and SOTL, I am new to the Cigar world and I have approx 25-30 cigars so far, planning to buy my first box very soon after this issue is resolved ;) Here's my issue, I read a lot about humidors and coolidors, but I haven't decided yet. I had a glass-top humidor approx. 100ct and sold...

After months of being fed up with storage issues in my Newair I was faced with a decision to purchase a second one or go with a cabinet. The end result was pretty crystal clear. I went with a new custom cabinet from Bob @ Staebell and Associates. Living in Texas I knew it had to be cooled. I...

I can't stress a coolidor enough, get a pound of beads of 1-2 of those 320g bovedas and you're good to go. I recommend the 120qt cooler, it's only about $54 at walmart.......it holds a ton, and this way you could build/age your collection. I have a 3000k cigar cabinet, a wineador and a...

+100000000 what he said. When I first started I just used the tupperware method getting the boveda's from Ron and they kept the cigars perfect. After I knew this was a hobby I was going to stick with the search for a good humidor started. I was fortunate enough to get something here from a BOTL...

See this was my point all along. We all have individual tastes. Just because alot of guys like Ligas or Tats etc. doesn't mean that everyone does. I've had one Liga that i enjoyed and it was the L40 to my palate it was the only one that didn't taste like dirt. Maybe I'm a heathen who knows...
